Stellar Org has proposed a comprehensive review of the network's tokenomics to better incentivize on-chain transactions and user balances. The plan includes introducing a rewards mechanism supported by the network's existing fee pool.
Why it matters
The proposal aims to more closely align user incentives with overall network activity and utility. By utilizing the existing fee structure, the organization hopes to drive increased on-chain engagement across the ecosystem.
The proposed tokenomics review, introduced at Meridian 2026, builds upon the infrastructure established when the Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund launched on the network in 2021. The system tracks shareholder ownership via the BENJI token.

Market Dynamics
This proposal follows the established pattern of major protocol shifts introduced to the community at the Meridian conference series. It reflects an ongoing effort to mature network governance in line with the growth of institutional assets like money market funds.
Users currently active on the network may see changes to how transaction fees are utilized and rewarded in the future. Those holding assets like the BENJI token should monitor governance updates to understand how these incentives might impact their on-chain activity.
The takeaway
Blockchain networks often revisit their economic models to better align developer and user behavior as they scale. Participants should remain updated on governance proposals that alter how network fees and rewards are distributed to ensure their strategies remain effective.
